The Root Beer GMT carries decades of heritage. The brown-and-black bezel combination first appeared in the 1970s on the reference 1675, and the 126715CHNR brings that warm colour scheme into the modern era with full Everose gold construction and a two-colour Cerachrom bezel insert. Everose is Rolex’s proprietary rose gold alloy, designed to resist the colour fading that affects standard rose gold over time. At 40mm with the caliber 3285 architecture, this reference delivers both travel utility and precious-metal warmth.

The 126715CHNR Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The two-colour Cerachrom bezel insert transitions from brown on the upper half to black on the lower, moulded from a single piece of ceramic with the 24-hour scale filled in Everose gold coating. The black dial provides high contrast for the Everose gold hour markers and hands, including the arrow-tipped GMT hand that tracks a second time zone. A date window at three o’clock is magnified by the Cyclops lens.
The full Everose gold Oyster bracelet matches the case with three-piece links, tapering slightly toward the Oysterlock clasp. The weight and warmth of solid rose gold on the wrist is immediately noticeable and sets this GMT apart from every steel and two-tone variant.
